“Here! These are my friends Jane, Emily and Colin.”
Olivia, who was walking while holding my hand, stopped in front of three women in dresses.
“Hello!”
“Wow! You are the prince on the white horse!”
“Which school do you go to? If you see that the suit suits you well, maybe you are a college student?”
As someone might say, Olivia’s friends, their friendliness was no joke from the first time they met. They all have bodies that look uncharacteristically mature for students. Because we met so suddenly, I almost made a mistake in looking.
‘I saved face because there was a high-speed accident.’
Olivia motioned to me and introduced me.
“And this is my partner Minho!”
“Nice to meet you. It’s been a long time since I graduated from school. I’m doing a personal broadcast.”
“That’s right! I said I was a streamer! Can you take a picture with me?”
“You already graduated? You look younger than my brother, who is still a college student… ”
“I need an autograph! I’ll ask you to write a favor here in my notebook!”
As we were taking pictures and talking together for a while, Emily, wearing a light blue dress, looked at us in turns and said,
“Liv plans to spend time with her boyfriend today, right?”
Judging from the nicknames their friends used, it seemed like these three were always close to Olivia.
“Huh?! uh… I guess so… ?”
Olivia, who was surprised to hear that I was her boyfriend, glanced at me and hesitated. I had no intention of denying it here and there with a straight face. Because the atmosphere could be a mess.
I just smiled and pulled my arm around Olivia.
“Because Liv is mine today. I’m sorry if I had an appointment.”
“Kya… ! He said it was his car!”
“It’s so romantic!”
“Liv! This is leaving us alone to meet a man alone!”
They seem to react angrily to such light jokes, as if they are not students yet. Olivia also let out an awkward laugh with a very red face.
I whispered in Olivia’s ear.
“Do those friends have no partners?”
“Huh? Oh, that’s right.”
She looked slightly dazed, but came to her senses after hearing my question.
“You have a bright personality and the way you talk doesn’t make you look like you wouldn’t be popular at school. Why?”
“This is our last homecoming party before we graduate. There is a prom, but it is a slightly different type.”
“So?”
“If you’re not in a relationship, it’s more fun to hang out with close friends than to find a partner of the opposite sex… It’s comfortable too. Since I was a freshman, I just went around with my friends.”
“Oh, that’s why you called me your boyfriend earlier.”
“… I talked about Minho a lot to my friends.”
He spoke in a playful tone to Olivia, who confessed this with blushing cheeks.
“Then there is nothing I can do. Since it’s like this, I guess I’ll have to be my boyfriend for a day today.”
“Boyfriend… ?!”
She was startled and opened her eyes wide.
“It is my rule not to meet people unless they are adults, but I will make a special exception today.”
“… … .”
Maybe it was because he was acting exaggeratedly cocky on purpose, but Olivia soon burst out laughing.
“No! Do you know where such a young and pretty woman is common? I’m doing something special for you!”
“Okay, let’s do it like that.”
“Ugh… ! What is that childish expression?”
As I was arguing with Olivia, her friends next to us saw us and started whispering.
“The relationship looks really good.”
“You’ve definitely made a lot of progress, right?”
“Kya… ! Then Liv is the most advanced among us!”
It felt like if I left it alone, rumors about Olivia and I would spread throughout the school.
“Hey… ”
The moment I open my mouth to talk to them.
“… … !”
Suddenly, I felt a sharp stab like an awl. The strange gaze I had been feeling from before was the culprit.
Olivia gave me a puzzled look when she saw me stop.
“What do you have to say?”
“Ah, something happened related to broadcasting for a moment… ”
“Do I have to go back?”
Olivia looks up at me worriedly. She knew my broadcast had been suspended and seemed to think it was her fault.
I shook my head lightly. I didn’t intend to take too long.
“No, it will be over soon. I thought it would be just a few phone calls.”
And I asked Olivia’s friends in front of me.
“I’m sorry to say this when you just said it’s mine, but could you take care of Liv for a moment? Something urgent has come up, so I think I need to take care of it for a while.”
“Really? live! Come this way!”
Olivia’s friends grabbed her arms and pulled her towards them.
“I’ll make it so you don’t even know your boyfriend is gone!”
“Leave it to us!”
“Have fun, Liv!”
“Hmm… Thank you.”
‘Just listening to what you say gives off the vibe of a heroine who has been captured by local gangsters… ‘
“Then, call me when you’re done!”
Olivia said those last words and walked away from her friends, giggling.
I let out a small sigh and glared at the direction where the deadly weapon was fired.
The place where I first felt strange gaze was near the entrance to the school, which was crowded with students and faculty. There were so many people, and the gaze wasn’t particularly ominous, and although it was uncomfortable, I just left it alone.
However, while meeting and greeting Olivia’s friends, a sharp killing blow was caught coming from a different direction. Since these disparate gazes were not felt in two places at the same time, it was reasonable to assume that the same person had moved from place to place.
I was able to come to the homecoming party because there was a prerequisite that I would take good care of Olivia’s safety. Thanks to saving their daughter twice, Raymond and Melissa’s trust in me has grown greatly.
‘But are you trying to set the candle like this? I don’t know who it is, but you’re behind.’
***
Devin Milford was a man born in the slums of Auckland.
His father had been lying on the sofa for so long that he couldn’t even remember the last day he went to work after losing his job, and his mother was sick and bedridden due to prostitution and drugs.
There was no way he would be able to get a proper job as he grew up neglected in such an environment.
When leaving the house, gang members were seen selling drugs in every alley, and when outsiders crossed the streets at night, robbers, like modern-day bandits, emptied their pockets.
As soon as his mother died, he left home, leaving his father sitting on the sofa and not even paying attention to him. Then, he went to the gangsters selling drugs in the alley and asked them to join their gang.
Life in the gang that I joined was not at all comfortable. Unlike the gang leaders who wore rings, bracelets, and gold necklaces with large jewels, as a low-level gang member who had just joined the gang, he had to take on low-paying, high-risk jobs. There was a time when a black gang member beat him until he was speechless, calling him a white kid with an unpleasant look in his eyes.
However, the reason he was able to grow up without dying until he became an adult was largely because the neighborhood he lived in was better than other areas.
At least the gangs that controlled his area rarely fired guns on the streets and had shootouts between gangs.
But he had no intention of burying his bones in the gang. It was obvious how I would be treated as I grew older in a group of criminals with no backs.
This opportunity was his only way out. An opportunity to spend the rest of your life in luxury and comfort.
He laundered his identity with the money he earned through criminal activities and got a job as a servant for a wealthy family. A man named John approached him and proposed this kidnapping.
If I succeed in this, I will be able to get people who have more power than just money on their backs. And you no longer have to worry about revenge from the gangsters who ran away or do errands for immature people much younger than you.
‘It was very easy. Before that guy showed up… ‘
Devin put on his sunglasses, sneaking a peek in the direction of Olivia and Minho from a corner of the school building.
‘Everything is ruined…’ ‘
The gang would never leave the traitor Devin alone, and they could not expect help from John, the leader who planned the kidnapping. The remaining kidnappers who were caught by the police are all missing, and if the high-ranking people who trusted John were holding a grudge, he was dead.
‘It’s all that guy’s fault… ‘
I felt anxious for a moment, but fortunately I was able to calm it down quickly. Because he had a gift prepared for that cheeky Asian and Olivia.
On the contrary, imagining their shocked looks made me feel a little better.
At that time, I saw him approaching the women. My anger soared as I saw a friendly atmosphere not only with Olivia next to me but also with the three newly added women.
‘I will blow you away without leaving a trace… !’
Devin checked his equipment one last time, feeling jealous and angry all over his body.
And the moment you try to change your seat.
“Nice to meet you. How have you been?”
“You… how… ? It was there a little while ago… !”
Minho suddenly appeared behind Devin and stopped him.
